Lyrics The Highwomen

The Highwomen

If She Ever Leaves Me

I see you watch her from across the room

Dancing her home in your mind

Well it takes more than whiskey to make that flower bloom

And by the third drink you'll find out she's mine

I've loved her in secret

I've loved her out loud

The sky hasn't always been blue

And it might last forever

Or it might not work out

But if she ever leaves me it won't be for you

She loves Wild Horses and Tumbling Dice

She don't have a single tattoo

She'll drink all the liquor and leave you the ice

That's too much cologne, she likes perfume

I've loved her in secret

I've loved her out loud

The sky hasn't always been blue

And it might last forever

Or it might not work out

But if she ever leaves me it won't be for you

If she ever leaves it's gonna be for a woman with more time

Who's not afraid to let her dreams come true

If she ever gives her careful heart to somebody new

Well it won't be for a cowboy like you

Well I've loved her in secret

I've loved her out loud

The sky hasn't always been blue

It might last forever

Or it might not work out

But if she ever leaves me it won't be for you

If she ever leaves me it won't be for you
